All Elite Wrestling is finally getting its long-awaited video game. Titled AEW Fight Forever, this is the wrestling promotion’s first fully-fledged console game, hopefully serving as a worthy competitor to the WWE 2K series.

It’s also developer Yuke’s first professional wrestling project since creating WWE 2K19 in 2018, after working on WWE games for over 18 years. With that in mind, there’s a lot of excitement for the upcoming game. Here’s everything we know about it so far.

When is the AEW Fight Forever release window?

AEW Fight Forever was originally scheduled to launch in 2022, but considering the year is over halfway finished, and a release date has yet to be announced, it’s likely the game will come out in 2023, instead.

On August 12, a THQ Nordic presentation will take place, and AEW Fight Forever will make an appearance. It’s likely the publisher will announce an updated release window during this showcase.
